WHAT IS CONTACT TRACING?

In public health, contact tracing is the process of identification of persons who may have come into contact with an infected person ("contacts") and subsequent collection of further information about these contacts. By tracing the contacts of infected individuals, testing them for infection, treating the infected and tracing their contacts in turn, public health aims to reduce infections in the population. Diseases for which contact tracing is commonly performed for include tuberculosis, vaccine-preventable infections like measles, sexually transmitted infections (including HIV), blood-borne infections, some serious bacterial infections, and novel infections (e.g. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2).

The goals of contact tracing are:​

To interrupt ongoing transmission and reduce spread of an infection

To alert contacts to the possibility of infection and offer preventive counseling or prophylactic care

To offer diagnosis, counseling and treatment to already infected individuals

If the infection is treatable, to help prevent reinfection of the originally infected patient

To learn about the epidemiology of a disease in a particular population
